Food good as usual. Slightly disappointed with service, waiter slow seemed unable to multi task. Needs to be more aware of diners requirements just by observing when passing tables. Usually the waiting staff are very switched on!

Dessert was really nice, even better than main course. Its better to go on week days, since they have lunch set and it will be much cheaper.

Enjoyed experience very much. Service very good. Food nice - haddock parmentier far too salty though, I thought. My companion didn't notice but her dish was noticeably different to mine. Hers was in a nice sauce and browned on top, mine lacked sauce and was rather dry, and was not browned, or barely, on top.

Cote Brighton is our favourite go-to restaurant in Brighton - a city with many good restaurants - because the food is always consistently good, the value is unbelievably good and the service is excellent. Perfect for a pre-theatre dinner since it is a few steps away from the Dome.

As always this venue was lively and the staff welcoming. The food is really good and I am only giving a score of 5 rather than 6 because I was a little disapppointed in my main course - my fault for choosing it. I should have stuck with one of my old favourites. I shall be back and look forward to it. We often go to Cote in Chichester too - also always a pleasure.

Cote Brasserie - Brighton. Attentive service, good choice on the menu, excellent House Red and coffee was really good, all in all a good start to a night out at the Theatre Royal and it was not far to walk either. Highly recommended.

Apart from slight booking issue - rewards programme assumed 2 people and couldn't seem to change it to 4 - everything was excellent. Perhaps there could be more scallops?!

Arrive at appointed. Time of 2.00pm and by 2.50 had only had 1st course at least 35mins before 2nd course arrived. Management said they had a lot of customers and yet there were many empty tables. Go often to Cotes in Ealing Chiswick and Westbourne grove always good service A pity to have bad experience

Eating here is always such a special experience. The food is amazing but it is the service that is really outstanding. You are welcomed as a valued customer and nothing is too much trouble. It's also brilliant value for money.

Food was ok. They had a large hen party downstairs which meant we were shouting to hear each other at our table for two. We were at a tiny table which was part of a row of tables they have added since the last time I was here. We felt very squashed. Prices have definitely gone up and I would say it is no longer good value. There are better restaurants in Brighton in this price range. They just seem to be after the money and no longer care about diners. I probably won't go again, unless I'm in a hen party!

Food very good, but the wait for the main course was way too long. Restaurant seemed overstretched on a Sunday before bank holiday. This was a pity as the space is great, food is good, value for money also commendable. I mentioned the wait to the wait staff but no explanation or apology was given.

The food was really tasty and the atmosphere was great, the only negative is that the service was a bit slow but it was very busy so that's understandable.

Wonderful welcome. Excellent choice of food which everyone enjoyed. It was a very busy time at the restaurant and perhaps the service could have been a little more attentive. Overall would certainly recommend and look forward to another visit.

Good experience, good food, plenty of it, well cooked, mostly well and rapidly served (there was a slight hiccup somewhere along the line but nothing serious, I can't remember what it was, maybe we had to remind someone that we'd ordered coffee?? - but it was nothing). We were four and had the pre-theatre menu at 5pm on Friday. The bill was just less than £100 inc. the service charge, and everyone had three courses and coffee and we had a bottle of wine (your Viognier - which is good!). As we learnt when we lived in France, the crucial equation is 'le rapport entre la qualité et le prix' - and, in our opinion, this was (again as they say in France) 'correcte' (100%). In general, we find Côte, Brighton, very reliable on this score.

Very good food as always. However, as often happens, long wait to catch waiter's eye to pay. When you need to get away, this can be annoying.

We went to the Cote in Brighton for the first time. The service was good. I ordered the chicken, walnut and advocado salad which was twice returned to me without the advocado. Eventually I did get the correct order after 20 minutes, with no dressing! The staff were kind but disorganised. I have had the same salad in Haywards Heath which was bigger and better all round. My friend also felt that her 1/2 chicken dish had been sitting on the side for some time, it was only tepid. Shame, we are both fans of Cote and hope this was a one off poor experience.

This is the first time I have been disappointed with a meal at this restaurant. I had the Hachis Parmentair, with peas. Unfortunately I had to send it back because it was only warm & I had asked the waiter to make sure it was hot before he brought it to the table. I did not eat all of it a sit was quite dry & in the bottom of the dish at the sides it was black. It was a shame as we always enjoy the food at this restaurant.

We had a great meal but initially all our meals - 2 steaks , 2 fish were served very cool. However, they took them back and served 4 fabulous plates of food with an additional couple of basic salads. Staff were fabulous.

The food was delicious as always and the service was great. My only gripe is that I dropped off a cake for my son for his birthday with 3 lots of chocolates and candles that i bought ( I did offer to decorate it myself) the cake came out without any of the extra's on it...and they were not offered to me!!!!! the staff then had to run around and find them.....disappointed with that. :(
